A new pair of GHDs as mine are sooo old.
Plus probably a new winter coat! If that didn't go above £250 😂

Stack of books
Le Creuset casserole dish
Massage

JustHereWithPopcorn · 17/10/2021 20:09

Shoes or boots Grin

I need a new winter coat, and then I'd save the rest and put it towards a SUP set - I almost got one before going on holiday this year and everywhere I went people were merrily paddle boarding - very jealous!

Pheebs2021 · 17/10/2021 20:12

£250 right now I would have a really good Saturday with it.
I would start by going for breakfast at the nice place where DH thinks it's far too expensive for what it is.
Then I would take myself off somewhere for a few hours - perhaps to a nice city not too far from me for a wonder round with a Starbucks and treat myself to some nice new PJS, and a nice accessory or two.
Home for a takeaway send everybody else out have a luxe bath and really pamper myself.

In life a person should aim to have the best...

  • mattress
  • shoes
  • coat

Do you have all of these to a standard you are happy with?

TroysMammy · 17/10/2021 20:15

35 Tim Holtz Distress Ink pads Grin

£250 won't get you far in a good mattress shop!

I'd buy myself a heated blanket or some gold earrings.

proudwomansexmatters · 17/10/2021 20:19

A shibumi dressing gown!

Brollywasntneededafterall · 17/10/2021 20:23

Fleece mattress topper and flannelette bedding. Omg divine in winter!!

DentalWorries · 17/10/2021 20:23

If I had already moved house and purchased the bed of my dreams then some really lovely white bedding.

Otherwise a really fun day/night out. Shopping, theatre, dinner & cocktails

PesosBandage · 17/10/2021 20:25

A stand mixer. Though the one I have my eye on is over budget, so I'd prob have to save my £250 until next year and hope I got another kind gift...!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 17/10/2021 20:26

I want:
a new dressing gown
some Wolford tights
a new purse

I could get all of the above plus a little binge in the bookshop.

Gingercatlover · 17/10/2021 20:33

Put it towards a Mulberry bag.
Buy some Emma Bridgewater.
New GHds.
Puffer coat in M&S.
Dr Marten Chelsea boots.
All on my wish list at the moment.
Enjoy spending.

KitchenKrisis · 17/10/2021 20:35

Really good eye cream.
Dinner out somewhere really fancy

MaybeAMoaner · 17/10/2021 20:39

A weekend away with a nice restaurant and drinks.
Or
A few beauty pamper treatments like a facial, manicure, pedicure.

kweeble · 17/10/2021 20:42

Bluetooth ear pods and a warm waterproof coat

MimsyBorogroves · 17/10/2021 21:01

Kindle Oasis.

Weighted blanket.

Seasidemumma77 · 17/10/2021 21:15

Eurostar to Bruge, on my own and just see the sights/shops/restaurants that I fancy

HollyandIvyandAllThingsYule · 17/10/2021 21:17

A Le Creuset enamelled cast iron casserole dish.

Or a cashmere scarf.

Or a pair of earrings.

Or possibly a painting.

RosiePosieDozy · 17/10/2021 21:19

A cashmere scarf. That's what I want right now.

Gladioli23 · 17/10/2021 22:08

Boring, but things for my Kenwood! I don't really need anything else.

Sometimes I wonder about some super fancy clothing, but there's nothing really I need right now.

TSSDNCOP · 17/10/2021 22:13

Molton Brown Orange and Bergomot diffuser, plus a kick ass pair of boots.
